Les Moulins Mahjoub - Artichoke Hearts in Olive Oil, 300g

Artichokes originated in the southern Mediterranean region and have be cultivated since ancient times. These artichokes are carefully preserved in extra virgin olive oil. Mahjoub uses the bottoms of a meaty local variety called viollette. Harvested from mid-February to mid-May, in a festival-like atmosphere, artichokes are an important staple of the Mediterranean cuisine and can still be found growing wild in Tunisia.
